Syndromic surveillance: early results from the MARISSA project.
Article in WMJ : official publication of the State Medical Society of Wisconsin, 2009. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Cited by 2 papers, 1 of them a synthesis that pooled it.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
contextThe Madison Area Review of Systems Syndromic Surveillance Application (MARISSA) project is the ongoing development of a syndromic surveillance system at the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics Emergency Department. Readily available electronic health data will be used to provide timely identification of increased respiratory illness activity in the Madison area.
objectiveTo develop novel data sets and statistical methods for syndromic surveillance.
designTime series of daily counts of influenza-like illness (ILI) and fever in the University of Wisconsin Hospital and Clinics Emergency Department from June 13, 2007 to June 11, 2008.
main outcome measuresOperating characteristics of limited baseline aberration detection methods with varying lengths of baseline periods were evaluated by simulation.
resultsAll methods had false detection rates at or below the nominal levels. True detection rates were substantially higher for methods based on longer baseline periods.
conclusionThe MARISSA project has adopted a limited baseline aberration detection method with a baseline period of 21 days and a nominal false alarm rate of once every 365 days for ongoing syndromic surveillance. Future work will explore the utility of novel data sources such as review of systems and vital signs for syndromic surveillance.
